    The only forecast I can see at this stage is 38C on BOM, however that is the point where something has to be done to alter start times or "venue" before the meeting starts. Obviously moving the meeting is completely out of the question so now they will need to change the start time if the forecast remains at 38 or higher. Dont think they are going to change times too early as they will most likely wait for tomorrows afternoon forecast from BOM before thinking about alternatives. My guess is the best alternative whether practical or not is moving it to Saturday

    OK so I just seen the new forecast which says 39C, so now there is big decisions to make unless the forecast changes tomorrow by at least 2 degrees. The temp is forecast to hit 38 at 1pm and 39 at 2pm so the race meeting would need to be finished by 1.00pm. I would now say that unless we get the temp changed downwards the meeting needs to be moved. I cannot see PR wanting to race the meeting like a couple of weeks ago when it finished at around 1.40pm, that would be a total disaster for PR. My guess is Perth Cup on Saturday ?

    Belmont 39. Perth Airport 40. Moving the Cup meeting to Saturday and the Saturday meeting to another day (midweek if necessary) makes sense. Another 9 am start would be a joke.

    Just to clarify the RWWA policy
    If the forecast temp at 9am the day prior to the meeting is 38C or higher the Stewards will decide on an action for the meeting at which time they have 4 options

    1) Change the start/finish time of the meeting
    2) Change the venue
    3) Change the meeting to a different day
    4) Abandon the meeting

    As options 2 and 4 are IMPOSSIBLE and option 1 "unlikely" we are left with option "3" at 9am on Tuesday if the forecast has not changed

    Imagine the state of the rat faced mob in that heat by Cup time? Oblivious to there being an actual race being run.

    JJ that "rat faced mob" have been to any number of cups, many on extremely hot days...complaints? not a peep.
    JJ we are about the same vintage...don't you think we've become so bloody lily livered? big daddy has to keep us all in check, unable to think or do for ourselves...so daddy hopes.

    don't get me on teens..all they need it a bloody good caning...now you'd finish up in gaol if you gave them a kick in the ****.
    the cop that was recently attacked now has the indignity of scrutiny to see if he touched (hit) the little barstid.
    the worlds pharqued.

    Falcon at the heart of the matter concerning your comments about the cup having a rescheduled start time due to the heat. The issue here is the welfare of the horse now more than ever with agencies like PETA etc who are all out to finish racing without the reshuffled start time all it would do is add another string to there bow. You say you have attended the cup since the sixties like a lot of us on here have . But without these concessions to start times due to the heat policy . You may not be attending many more over the next 60 years . Why because there won’t be one

    Another concern is if the races dont start on time they may be switched to Sky 2 for races at Dapto Dogs or other insignificant venue  ;))

    It would be interesting to compare the figures of the meeting they switched to the early start a couple of Saturdays ago against Perth cup delayed meeting?
